Honors opportunities
With the support of financial awards, national recognition, and a community of peers and mentors, honors students bring their future into focus and grow a personal sense of what's possible.
No goal out of reach
Students come to the University Honors Program with plans to accomplish much in their undergraduate careers. The honors community is ready to assist, overseeing opportunities and awards that lead to remarkable experiences.
Scholars programs and internships
Students can participate in University Scholars, KU's distinguished scholars program, and pursue internship opportunities with local nonprofits that are coordinated by KU Honors.
Study abroad programs
Three academic-break programs (all of which qualify for Honors Opportunity Award support) provide transformative educational experiences in Europe, South America, and the Caribbean. Each program asks participants to examine the histories, differences, and commonalities in other cultures through reflection that begins and culminates on campus.
Student leadership
The program offers several opportunities to lead within the program as recruitment ambassadors and assistants for first-year honors seminars. Common Cause also asks students to serve as design team members and peer mentors, developing and coordinating a symposium and service activities.
